What the soul is in the body, let Christians be in the world.

Every man is the painter and the sculptor of his own life.

Whatever you may do for your brother, being hungry, and a stranger, and naked, not even the devil will be able to despoil, but it will be laid up in an inviolabe treasure.

Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward & learning to enjoy whatever life has and this requires transforming greed into gratitude.

It may here be observed, that all who are offended by us are exposed to our view. But the rich man sees Lazarus not with any other righteous man, but in Abraham's bosom. For Abraham was full of love, but the man is convicted of cruelty. Abraham sitting before his door followed after those that passed by, and brought them into his house, the other turned away even them that abode within his gate.

Let us always guard our tongue; not that it should always be silent, but that it should speak at the proper time.

Is it not excessively ridiculous to seek the good opinion of those whom you would never wish to be like?
